Music for the Soul- Lights Follow, “Live your beautiful life”
When I was in a dark place, one of my lowest points, some kind and dear friends put together a Spotify playlist that lifted my spirits, and kept me going.
This song in particular spoke to me.
Incidentally, it was featured as the theme song to the 2nd season of Terrace House, one of my favorite reality TV shows on Netflix at the time.
I researched the band, an Atlanta Duo, Matthew Heath, and Gray Griggs, and sadly found out that one of the two (Gray) passed away recently, on Sept 28 2021.
I just wanted to put this here to let him and Matthew know his song made a difference to me, and it must have done the same for others as well.
If you are in a dark place, this one’s for you too.
(p.s. Made a small donation to Gray’s gofundme page, so if you like the song and it’s made an impact on you too, here’s the link)
Tell me what it takes to get you feeling alive
Tell me how to show you it’s a beautiful life
I’ll do anything to pull you into the light
Cause everything will change when you open your eyes
Yeah
So don’t you let the sunlight go by without you
Don’t you realize how lucky we are
Open up your heart, baby, let it all go, tonight
Live your life like it was running out
Be alive
We gotta scream it out
Be it then
And feel the rush again
You’re not lost
No matter where you’ve been
You’ve been trying hard just to make it alone
But I can help you baby, let me carry the load
I’ll do anything to make you see what it’s like
Cause everything is different when you open your eyes
Yeah
So don’t you let the sunlight go by without you
Don’t you realize how lucky we are
Open up your heart, baby, let it all go, tonight
Live your life like it was running out
Be alive
We gotta scream it out
Be it then
And feel the rush again
You’re not lost
No matter where you’ve been
All your life you’ve been chasing a ghost
You gotta change your mind if you’re gonna let go
No matter how you feel nothing’s holding you up
Nobody’s holding you back
Find a light that you are
Live your life like it was running out
Be alive
We gotta scream it out
Be it then
And feel the rush again
You’re not lost
No matter where you’ve been
